BRB putting on Waylon Jennings radio
This is how I felt when the music industry decided that it was a good idea to combine metal and rap.
They were both fine, in their respective corners and didn't need to be introduced.
I tend to agree. After the first couple early ones, it got tired.

Had several of his albums in the early 2000s, lost them all. Loved his duet with Garth (Whatcha gonna do)

The spelling of Colin Dunlap's radio "programme". That spelling is ok if you're based in England, but I'm guessing Colin has never set foot in the country nor is his program catering to the folks in England.

Today's country is so derivative, down to every song having the breakdown in the last chorus.

It has gotten much worse in the last 20 years, since Chris LeDoux passed.
Try listening to Jamey Johnson and more recently, Sturgill Simpson.

Package stores are better.

When I was a Marine I used to eat smoked oysters from the tin. Even when I would throw the stuff away in the dumpster out back and go wash my hands the place would smell like seafood the rest of the day. They're tasty, though.

People who pick up their ball and go home from a message board then return later.

When you're gone, you stay gone. Or you be gone.

That drives me nuts too. Dunlap constantly goes out of his way to use all the European soccer terms too. Always calling uniforms "kits," always saying "pitch" and things of that ilk.

Pitch doesn't bother me. I've heard it used regularly during soccer discussion, even by fans that were more than casual but less than hardcore.

There's no excuse for the use of kit though.

People who drive around with their handicap placard hanging from their rear view mirror.

People who go through the drive thru and order 5 orders for 5 people on 5 separate checks. Take that crap inside.

I'm not convinced the average drive thru experience saves you any time at all.

I have Penguins, Broncos and Red Sox lanyards that I hang from my rear view mirror and have never gotten in trouble for having them there.

Obstructed view.

Consider yourself lucky.

It's also one of those things they can use to randomly pull you over if they feel like it.

1. Lots of fans act like the Steelers are still a superior, contending team and predict wins over teams that are perceived as worse than the Steelers (like Tampa yesterday). Maybe the Steelers just aren't contenders anymore and such a loss (of course how they loss is terrible and shouldn't happen at all) shouldn't be "stunning" or an upset and they are just part of the mediocre pack of the rest of the NFL. I'm sure fans of other teams, such as Bengals, are saying "Steelers are terrible lol. That's a win for us."

2. Fake co-workers. Last week I called in sick (I wasn't at all) at work and took a mental health day off. It was great. I returned the next day feeling refreshed and looking like it, IMO and one of my co-workers told me, "How are you feeling? You still look so sick! You shouldn't have came back today." Umm? Are you being genuine or not?

Wait, people actually give orders at drive thrus for separate checks? From one car? I've never seen/heard of that, but that would enrage me.

As a former employee of quality fast food establishments such as Wendy's and Arby's, I can confirm that car loads of people sometimes go through and ask for a separate check for each occupant.

Jagoffs.

I honestly wouldn't have been as mad if I wasn't on lunch at work. I only get 30 minutes, spending 10+ at the drive through is no bueno.
